"CITY NINJA (1986): "During World War II, a valuable pendant was taken into holding to protect it from those who would use it for evil. Years later, men are still trying to retrieve the pendant, now separaterd into two parts for safekeeping, and will…"
"It's fine when you look at it on the screen. But when posted, it turns purple and green. Anybody know why?
I imagine it's some for of "copyguard." I once tried to post the current Prince Valiant Sunday here and the same thing happened.
The guy can't…"
"The last X-Men series I read were X-Men Forever (24 issues, 2009) and X-Men Forever 2 (16 issues 2010). Those series were a continuation of the Chris Claremont era and not considered a part of official continuity, but they are much more "X-Men" to…"
I'm not as dilligent updating this thread as Rob is with the DC Finest line, but having recently read X-Factor v4 (most of it, anyway), this one caught my eye. It reprints # 10-20 & Annual #2, Thor…"
"Back to the martial arts...
SPIRITS OF BRUCE LEE (1980): "Two brothers own a jade importing business and when one brother disappears on a buying trip to Thailand, the other sets out to find him. When he arrives in the village his brother was last…"
I generally prefer reading tpbs to periodicals, and hardcovers to trades. By the time I discovered Invincible, most of it up to that point had already been collected in tpb, so that's how I read it. If I would have only known how good…"
"The premiere was a story built almost entirely out of familiar Star Trek and time-travel clichés. However, horse races....
House of the Dragon has us re-watching the original Game of Thrones. Despite the fact that it's riddled with creepy AF sexual…"
"As I'm sure you've realized by now, most of your questions will go unanswered. At best, you'll be left to devise your own explanations. I have mine, but I'll save that until you've seen all the episodes."
"Again, we must disagree. This is a story built almost entirely out of familiar Star Trek and horror clichés. It indulges in tasteless sequences, shock value for its own sake, and dishonest storytelling. None of it has any emotional weight. And in…"
"OK, I've seen "Checkmate" now. The Village is a really strange enterprise. Part prison, part asylum, part interrogation room, part vacation resort. The costuming alone is so weird -- are people wearing the multicolored capes just for fashion? It…"
"It was gripping. The lack of a clear explanation was, I suppose, the point, but I was a little disappointed by it. We did have fun imagining how this episode would have been scripted had it been a TOS episode:
Kirk (vo): Captain's log, Stardate…"
"STUART FAILS TO SAVE THE UNIVERSE is the Assorted Crisis Events of TV; Assorted Crisis Events is the Stuart Fails to Save the Universe of comics. I very seldom ever laugh out loud at a TV show, but I did so more than once watching episode two. (It…"
"THE GRIFFIN INCIDENT: I'm not even going to try to summarize this one; I'm just going to assume that anyone reading reading this thread has seen the episode. It was more horiffic than most Treks (with "ghosts" and "zombies" and whatnot), and I won't…"
"Speaking of writing comics professionally at age 13, I once submitted a proposal for a Silver Surfer limited series... when I was in college. (At the time, Marvel mini-series where intended to produce some sort of change in the character, and my…"
Jeff, I want to thank you and Tracy for the well-wishes you have given me, just to let you know how touching and thoughtful I think it was. I'm happy to tell you that I'm doing much better and I feel about 99% back to normal. Of course, it's easy to recuperate when all I have to think about is getting better while Adam takes every other burden upon himself. Here on Earth-B he has the reputation of being rather a cranky old cuss, but I know he's as sweet as a puppy! Tell him I said that and I'll blame it on the stroke.
Thank you again, Jeff, for thinking of me and do, please, pass my thanks and best wishes on to Tracy.
Happy new year!
Cheryl
PS: Re: the puppy comment--yes, I know this will be publicly on your wall, but I'm betting Himself never pays attention to these. Also, there may be a better way to message you but I don't see anything else.
